Gift Wrapper Wall Decoration

I personally enjoy looking at abstract/pattern paintings on square canvas that usually hang in groups on a featured wall of a cozy home. Interior and lifestyle stores sell a wide range of those in not-so-low prices because they're artworks, paintings done by professionals. Look what I made with zero bucks with some gift wrappers and a sheet of styrofoam board.

Cut a piece of styrofoam board of at least 1 cm thickness into a square of preferred size ( I choose 18cm x 18cm)

Take a large piece of patterned paper or gift wrapping paper and wrap the styrofoam board around with it. The easiest way to use masking tape to secure them together because some types of glue would melt the styrofoam board.

You will have something like this.

Make another one (or more) and use different textures or patterns to cover the board. Stick them to the wall using blue tack or tape (you don't have to put a nail on your wall and hang these) and they look just as beautiful as expensive wall decor paintings.
